Boasting gargantuan dimensions larger than the Grand Canyon with origins dating back to the entrance of the Swan River in Perth, Western Australia. Research teams have monitored Blue Whales along with many other cetaceans and mega fauna that come here to feed on krill created by the Leeuwin Undercurrent and the Perth Canyon topography. This interaction creates nutrient rich upwelling waters where phytoplankton develops and an intense food chain for marine life prospers. This new Whale Watch frontier just off the Perth, Western Australian coastline is the feeding grounds for the largest known aggregation of Blue Whales in the southern hemisphere and our Perth Canyon Blue Whale tour is the only genuine, guaranteed Blue Whale tour of its kind in Australia.

The biodiversity includes Sperm Whales, Pilot Whales, rarely sighted Dolphin species, Australian Sea lions, Sharks, Migratory Sea Birds, Sunfish, Tuna and much more who gather to feed on this biomass bonanza which stands unrivalled on the Western Australian coastline as the marine production epicentre.

“It’s the major feature on the West Australian coastline and stands unrivalled in terms of marine life and productivity.” Professor Pattiaratchi – University of WA
